Wheels clear the bbk! Tires go Friday and will put the wheels on. Couple of test fitment pics of the wheels.

This is what I wanted to hear!

Very Nice! This is my exact wheel combo I want when I install my widebody rear. Love the deep dish!

sweet, i'm just hoping that there's no tire poke outside the flare with that offset. staying tuned for final pics.

Definitely going to have poke with a 23mm offset. Especially with a 345mm tire. Most people run a 36-40mm offset with the 2" flared fenders. It will look aggressive, for sure.

tommypenguin

Yup, I'm expecting a little poke. It's a balance when trying to do super deep concaves and running bbk. I think a +24 would have cleared but not by much. Will take a few pics tomorrow.

Tommy, I noticed you posted some pics on FB but I lost track of which group. Hate when that happens.

Not yet, rediculous how hard it is to spend 30 minutes in the garage to put wheels on when having a new born. Current project is trying to build a box for shipping my caravaggio spoiler. Then build two wall mounted work benches.

I've posted pics on c5 modified and Instagram @nicks_vette.

The car is naked without a spoiler. Ordered a spoiler, side skirts and front lip in carbon fiber will create another thread documenting installing that stuff. Probably going to wait to post more pics until after paint and the car has a spoiler on.

All that will remain on cosmetic changes for my car is put on a new hood and wrap up my morimoto custom led lighting upgrades, will do that next year and the exterior will be done after almost 5 years of owning the car.

My car is filthy, needs height adjusted and alignment. Lol also needs hood adjusted. Best I can do for now without bringing anymore shame to the car. Currently has about 1/4" poke. +30 would probably be flush but wouldn't clear bbk.

I think you will be fine. It will look alot better once you get the heigth adjusted

tommypenguin

Lowered it 3/4", looks better. Hopefully will have it back by Friday.

'Shifter

Looks vile dude....

tommypenguin

Thanks, one more note is that with my old forgestars I had to run the high rise center caps to clear the axle nut. Wasn't willing to grind them down like some do. With the new offset was able to fit the regular forgestar center caps.

Thanks, I was wearing shorts, a cutoff and crocs had to represent Had to do Christmas shopping on black friday nothing quite as scenic as the back of a Walmart parking lot for a pic.
